Forbes magazine has compiled a list of the best- and worst-drafting teams in the NFL, and according to the article, the New England Patriots rank as the worst.

Forbes looked at the last three years of drafts (2006-08), and New England has retained just 50 percent of the players it chose during that time; Houston has 85 percent of players selected for the same period, ranking as the best.

But go figure: the Patriots are 39-9 over the last three years in the regular season, including 2007's 16-0 mark, while the Texans are 22-26.
